Comment: Woolworths: Tends to have awesome stuff. The bins are "locked" behind a fence, but there's a big hole in the fence that is pretty easy to get through. The bins themselves are also locked, but they tend to be open during the day or when they overfill them. The bins are filled up periodically through the day, so any time is probably worth having a look. During the day, or at least before close, you're more likely to get non-fruit and veg stuff and random one-off items. Often the store will throw out fresh produce at close, so if you turn up after 12am, most of the time you should be able to get fruit and veg, but its probably worth the effort to have a good dig through the bin. They often do bulk throw-outs of things like dairy products or baked items. Only thing to remember is to be stealthy during the day, because if they hear you they aren't supposed to let people dumpster, so generally they'll tell you to move on. However, if an employee is throwing things out when you turn up, it might be worth asking them nicely. Most employees tend not to mind, it's mainly managers who will care. WARNING: It is a trespassing violation, so do it on your own risk!
